The aim of this paper is to exhibit a method for proving that certain analytic functions are not solutions of algebraic differential equations. The method is based on model-theoretic properties of differential fields and properties of…

In this note, we study the arithmetic nature of values of modular functions, meromorphic modular forms and meromorphic quasi-modular forms with respect to arbitrary congruence subgroups, that have algebraic Fourier coefficients. This…

The study of the Mittag-Leffler function and its various generalizations has become a very popular topic in mathematics and its applications. In the present paper we prove the following estimate for the $q$-Mittag-Leffler function:…

We investigate some connectedness properties of the set of points K(f) where the iterates of an entire function f are bounded. In particular, we describe a class of transcendental entire functions for which an analogue of the…

In 1969, I. Bernstein and S. Gelfand introduced an object, which is now called the zeta Mahler function (ZMF, also zeta Mahler measure) and related to the Mahler measure. Here we discuss a family of ZMFs attached to the Laurent polynomials…

We explore Mahler numbers originating from functions $f(z)$ that satisfy the functional equation $f(z) = (A(z)f(z^d) + C(z))/B(z)$. A procedure to compute the irrationality exponents of such numbers is developed using continued fractions…

It is well known that value at a non-zero algebraic number of each of the functions $e^{x}, \ln x, \sin x, \cos x, \tan x, \csc x, \sec x, \cot x, \sinh x,$ $ \cosh x,$ $ \tanh x,$ and $\coth x$ is transcendental number (see Theorem 9.11 of…

We formalize Hilbert's Seventh Problem and its solution, the Gelfond-Schneider theorem, in the Lean 4 proof assistant. The theorem states that if $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are algebraic numbers with $\alpha \neq 0,1$ and $\beta$ irrational, then…

The classic Schneider-Lang theorem in transcendence theory asserts that there are only finitely many points at which algebraically independent complex meromorphic functions of finite order of growth can simultaneously take values in a…

Let $M(\alpha)$ denote the Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. In a recent paper, Dubickas and Smyth constructed a metric version of the Mahler measure on the multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. Later, Fili and the…

We prove a quantitative version of Hilbert's irreducibility theorem for function fields: If $f(T_1,\ldots, T_n,X)$ is an irreducible polynomial over the field of rational functions over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p$,…

In 2007, Papanikolas established that if Carlitz logarithms of algebraic functions are linearly independent over the rational function field, then they are algebraically independent. The purpose of the present paper is to provide a new…

In this paper, we study the transcendental meromorphic solutions for the nonlinear differential equations: $f^{n}+P(f)=R(z)e^{\alpha(z)}$ and $f^{n}+P_{*}(f)=p_{1}(z)e^{\alpha_{1}(z)}+p_{2}(z)e^{\alpha_{2}(z)}$ in the complex plane, where…

For an algebraic number $\alpha$, the metric Mahler measure $m_1(\alpha)$ was first studied by Dubickas and Smyth in 2001 and was later generalized to the $t$-metric Mahler measure $m_t(\alpha)$ by the author in 2010. The definition of…

Let f be a function transcendental and meromorphic in the plane, and define g(z) by g(z) = f(z+1) - f(z). A number of results are proved concerning the existence of zeros of g(z) or g(z)/f(z), in terms of the growth and the poles of f.

Let $f = f(z,t)$ be a function holomorphic in $z \in O \subseteq {\mathbb C}^d$ for fixed $t\in \Omega$ and measurable in $t$ for fixed $z$ and such that$z \mapsto f(z,\cdot)$ is bounded with values in$E := L_{p}(\Omega)$, $1\le p \le…

Let $f$ be an entire function and $L(f)$ a linear differential polynomial in $f$ with constant coefficients. Suppose that $f$, $f'$, and $L(f)$ share a meromorphic function $\alpha(z)$ that is a small function with respect to $f$. A…

Mahler equations arise in a wide range of contexts including the study of finite automata, regular sequences, algebraic series over Fp(z), and periods of Drinfeld modules. Introduced a century ago by K. Mahler to study the transcendence of…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic function on the strip $\{z\in C: -\alpha<Im z<\alpha\}, \alpha > 0$, belonging to the class $H(\alpha,-\alpha;\epsilon)$ defined below. It is shown that there exist holomorphic functions $w_1$ on $\{z\in C: 0<Im z…
